[quote=Anonymous]Have you had a thorough home inspection done? Not just the report you got from the seller? If you haven’t, I would do that as step 0 before going to step 1. In our case, it revealed some messed up things that we wouldn’t have suspected in a new-ish house. I would check hvac, plumbing, electrical, exterior drainage and everything in the crawl and basement- look at anything that would disrupt aesthetic improvements if you had to go back and fix it. Then I would do kitchen, floors and paint in that order. If you don’t absolutely have to update anything now, move in and give it 1-2 years. You might have very different feelings about how you want the kitchen to be set up or how you want things to flow after going through a few seasons of living there as a family, experiencing different temperatures and seasonal light, and studying how you use different spaces.
